At first, I didn't know whether I could do a card in the colors for Altenew's September Inspiration Challenge as I probably would never have thought of using them together - but that's what it's all about!
I used a method Jennifer McGuire did recently of smudging distress inks on a piece of watercolor paper and generously spritzing with water. I used some seedless preserves, barn door, forest moss, carved pumpkin and rusty hinge. I did two pieces with the same colors so I would have a large variety of leaves from which to choose after die cutting with Altenew's zero-waste die. The card base is kraft cardstock and the brick wall is some purple cs. I blended mocha ink onto the bricks for a little added interest. Some enamel dots and a twine bow were the finishing touches. This may be a fall birthday card or maybe for Thanksgiving - for now it will remain without a sentiment.
